As the Berlinale’s networking platform for industry professionals actively working in international co-productions, the Berlinale Co-Production Market offers producers the opportunity to in tro- duce their selected new feature and drama series projects. With its efficient meeting coordination and a focused conference programme, it even allows participants with a very tight festival schedule to connect with the most promising pre-selected projects, to discover new financing models and to exchange in - for mation and ideas with like-minded professionals.

Potential co-producers and financiers can request one-on-one meetings with a selection of outstanding, partly financed inter-national feature projects. The additional Company Matching programme offers room for talks beyond single projects: parti-cipants can request meetings with 5 hand-picked international com panies to speak about slates, strategies and business models, and to find common ground for potential alliances.

At the Fund Meetings, producers can request 20-minute one-on-one meetings with representatives from various interna-tional public funds.

At the Berlinale Co-Production Market 2019, 37 selected feature pro-jects from 30 countries (from more than 500 applications) as well as 5 companies in the Company Matching programme were presented.

565 producers and financiers from more than 400 com panies around the world attended. 1500 pre- arranged one-on-one meetings were scheduled. On top, 3 prestigious monetary prizes were handed out.

Since the Berlinale Co-Production Market’s debut in 2004, over 280 films have been made, which means around 50 % of all pre- sented projects have been realised, premiered at major festivals worldwide and released in cinemas.

In addition to the pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, pati-cipants can establish further contacts and network with each other. The conference programme offers diverse formats such as Case Studies, Theme Talks, Country Sessions, Speed Matchings

and targeted networking events.

The Berlinale Co-Production Market also offers two specialised pitch and networking events: At the Co-Pro Series Pitches, participants and further buyers can discover ten selected inter- national drama series projects that are looking for partners.

At Books at Berlinale, which was established as the world’s first rights market for literary adaptations linked to an A-list film festival, international publishers and literary agents present a selection of twelve new, forthcoming, bestselling and award-winning novels with great potential for film adaptations.
